Mr. Stephen Sellers 12 Years at OES Over 45 State and Federal Disasters Southern Region contains 2/3 of the State’s diverse population Nuclear Power Plants, 2 major port complexes, fires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc Regional Emergency Operations Center Governor’s Office of Emergency Services Southern Regional Administrator

  5. Why we must act now. • 2007 is the 150th anniversary of the last great San Andreas earthquake in Southern California. • Scientists are nervous about the potential for another great earthquake on the San Andreas fault, especially the southernmost section. • There will be major loss of life and property unless we each take action now to be ready, by securing our buildings and their contents.

  6. “California will fall in the ocean someday” “Northridge was a big-one” “It won’t happen here” “Earthquakes happen in the morning, when it’s hot and dry, etc.” “The most damage in an earthquake is always at the epicenter” “Scientists really do know how to predict earthquakes but don’t want to cause a panic” Common beliefs about earthquakes Myths...

  7. The San Andreas - our master fault

  8. Let’s talk about our faults SCEC Community Fault Model: 3-dimensional structures of major faults

  9. Major Southern California faults in 3D SoCalFaults3D.mov • The Puente Hills fault: • Four large earthquakes in the last 10,000 years. • A potential 7.5 magnitude earthquake on this fault will cause great devastation. • These earthquakes occur much less frequently than San Andreas earthquakes.

  10. Southern California is Earthquake Country!

  11. 23 large earthquakes since 1933 Date Time (local) Location Magnitude 1. 03.10.1933 5:54 pm Long Beach 6.4 2. 03.25.1937 8:49 am San Jacinto 6.0 3. 05.18.1940 8:37 pm Imperial Valley 6.9 4. 10.21.1942 9:30 am Fish Creek Mountains 6.6 5. 03.15.1946 5:49 am Walker Pass 6.0 6. 04.10.1947 7:58 am Manix 6.5 7. 12.04.1948 3:43 pm Desert Hot Springs 6.0 8. 07.21.1952 3:52 am Kern County 7.5 9. 11.21.1952 11:46 pm Bryson 6.2 10. 03.19.1954 1:54 am Arroyo Salada 6.4 11. 04.09.1968 6:29 pm Borrego Mountain 6.5 12. 02.09.1971 6:01 am San Fernando 6.6 13. 10.15.1979 4:54 pm Imperial Valley 6.4 14. 07.08.1986 2:21 am North Palm Springs 5.9 15. 10.01.1987 7:42 am Whittier Narrows 5.9 16. 11.23.1987 5:54 pm Elmore Ranch 6.2 17. 11.24.1987 5:15 am Superstition Hills 6.6 18. 04.22.1992 9:50 pm Joshua Tree 6.1 19. 06.28.1992 4:57 am Landers 7.3 20. 06.28.1992 8:05 am Big Bear 6.3 21. 01.17.1994 4:30 am Northridge 6.7 22. 10.16.1999 2:46 am Hector Mine 7.1 23. 12.22.2003 11:15 am San Simeon 6.5

  12. Potential earthquake shaking Regions near major, active faults, will on average experience stronger shaking more frequently. This intense shaking can damage even strong, modern buildings. Regions distant from known, active faults. Will experience lower levels of shaking. In most earthquakes, only weaker masonry buildings would be damaged. However, very infrequent earthquakes could still cause strong shaking here.

  13. Northridge earthquake • Jan. 17, 1994 • Magnitude 6.7 • 10x10 mile section of fault moved, all underground, from Southeast to Northwest • $40 billion • 33+ deaths

  14. “Ft. Tejon” Earthquake: our last “Big One” • Jan. 9, 1857 • Magnitude 7.9 • 225 mile long rupture, from Northwest to Southeast Northridge • As long as 23 Northridge-sized faults • Today: at least $150 billion

  15. Southern California in 1857

  16. Over 23 million people Fastest growing areas are close to the San Andreas Southern California in 2007

  17. Our most likely next “Big One” • Southernmost San Andreas • Magnitude 7.8+ • Shaking for 2-4 minutes! • This will likely happen in our lifetimes, and could actually happen today.

  18. Strong shaking throughout the most populated areas of So. Cal. • A regional disaster • You and your neighbors will need to rely on each other for several days: join or form a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

  19. Sediment-filled valleys amplify shaking
